Simple Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Cups For All Occasions

I discovered these Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Cups (CCCC cups for short) years ago from a childhood friend that made them for a holiday gathering. I was hooked. How can you not love two of the best desserts put together in one amazing cup! 

These chocolate chip cookie cheesecake cups are exactly what it sounds. A chocolate chip cookie bottom, layered with cheesecake filling, topped with fruit or a pie filling. 

These are always a hit in our house and for any gatherings or dinner parties. You can customize the topping to fit any occasion, holiday, or celebration. See my suggestions below.

6. Once you remove cookie dough from the oven, pour about 3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture over each cookie cup. If you have a batter dispenser, you can use that to distribute the mixture. 

7. Return back into the oven and bake for 15 – 18 minutes or until set. 

8. Let chocolate chip cookie cheesecake cups cool completely. Top each cup with about a tablespoon of pie filling.

9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Customize Toppings

The pie filling goes really well with the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake cup. I have used raspberry jam instead when I couldn’t get my hands on a can of pie filling last minute. Since jam is a bit sweeter, I use a little less on each cup.

You can definitely play around with the toppings to customize it for the occasion, celebration, or holiday you are making it for. Here are some suggestions:

• fresh fruit
• candy corns
• candy hearts
• pieces of peppermint bark
• mini candy canes
• Poprocks
• sprinkles 
• seasonal Hershey kisses
• mini candy-covered chocolate Easter eggs  

Making Ahead and Storing

You can definitely make these ahead of time. Make the chocolate chip cookies cheesecake cup a day or two before you want to serve it. Add toppings to the cups the day of or at least an hour before serving to give it time to set in the refrigerator.

Keep the cups in a covered container like a casserole dish with a lid. This will prevent the cups from absorbing any other flavors or odor roaming around inside your fridge.
